⁠
Kia ora.⁠
⁠
Today's kupu is Kia ora, which can be used in three different contexts: hello, goodbye, and thank you. Literally, kia means “to be” and ora means “healthy” or “alive.” So when someone says Kia ora to you, they’re wishing you good health.⁠
⁠
A phrase full of life—just like the geothermal energy that flows through Tikitere (Hell's Gate).⁠
